You turned back to him, "Bill, I'm going to have to ask you not to speak to me when I may be around others. I don't want to look anymore insane than I already come off."

Stepping inside of your house, you tried your best to ignore the glow of Bill's outline in your peripheral vision, calling out your brothers name once more.

A sudden pain darted through the temples of your head, and paused. Blinking your eyes rapidly, you picked your head back up and looked through the corridor of your home, surprised to see it tunnelling your vision. Everything looked see through, like an X-ray. "Bill, what's going on?!" He looked alarmed at you, but didn't reply with much help.

"Intangibility, genius."

"The ability to pass through physical objects, I'm assuming this is the view of what you get when activating i- agh!" You clutched your right temple, having trouble adjusting to the new power.

Your eyes darted to the right, and through the walls, you could see your brother in his room, sleeping on his bed.

Walking through the walls to his room, the weird vision stopped and everything went back to normal.

"Might as well take his power now, don't want him having another seizure now do we?" You asked rhetorically.

"Not you at least." Bill laughed manically. You shot him a look.

"Alright, so how exactly do I do this?" You hovered your hands over B/N's sleeping body, furrowing your eyebrows. "Let me rephrase that; how do I do this without dying?"

"You won't, you're not 20 yet." Bill replied and laughed again.

"What?"

"What?"

You squinted at him, before turning your attention back to your brother. "I couldn't absorb his power before, and I couldn't  even after he took my portals energy, but with yours, I think I may just be able to do that."

"The last thing I need is more powers, but here goes." You muttered.

A bright blue glow came from your brother's body, almost like an aura or mist. Fading into the hands, electricity suddenly started to flow through you, before stopping suddenly.

Feeling strangely refreshed, you shook your arms and clapped your hands together. "That went well, now, what next?"

"Time to fulfil your side of the deal? Don't want to forget what we agreed on, right toots?" Bill asked.

"You're one to talk." You smiled, but nodded. "And when are you going to settle on a nickname for me? You've called me toots and sweet cheeks and I'm getting a bit confused."

"How about babe?" Bill would be grinning if he wasn't a triangle, you could tell.

"Yeah, naaaahhh." You giggled.

Ew, I giggled.

"How about 'doll?'"

"Sure, but any particular reason why?"

Bill raised his hands with a shrug, "Because you're weird and annoying?"

"Wow Bill, you've really got me there. You hurt my feelings." You put a finger on your cheek and dragged it down in fake sadness.

"Oh hey, what's that?" Bill pointed behind you, in the door way.

"Wait what?!" You spun around, expecting something out of the ordinary, only to hear Bill's words, "Haha, gullible."

"Alrighty then, so, how should we do this. You want me to kill someone and you use their body, or what?" You (half) joked.

"As much as I'd enjoy that, we've got to get someone to consent, otherwise their body decays immediately if the host isn't fully into it." Bill's glow brightened.

"'Into it?' Wow, context really does matter. Anyways, did you say host? Like a parasite?"

He didn't reply so you continued, as he led the way towards the main town of Gravity Falls. You didn't really know your way around the place.

"So isn't it a bit like when someone puts a frog in some water and slowly turns up the heat every few minutes? To let them get used to it, until eventually, they're been boiled to death without even realising it." You pursed your lips at the thought of it.

"Eeeeeexactly." Bill's attention was obviously elsewhere but he still seemed to have gotten most of what you've said.

"Okay, we get some random guy to agree to let a spirit of some sort into his body, so that it can slowly take over and kill the guys soul and keep the dead shell that is the guy?"

"That seems about right, doll."

"Cool, cool." You nodded your head and puffed your cheeks.

You could just barely make out Bill's eye glancing at you for a moment before returning his attention up ahead. He really couldn't figure you out so far. You were enigmatic.

"Alright, whose going to be our lucky contestant?"

Bill stopped, his eye shining weirdly.

"Dipper Pines."
